Problem In Executing Child Packages In SSIS (Invalid Access To Memory Location. . )
Oct 18, 2006
I have installed Office 2007 Beta 2 and SQL Server 2005 at my system.
I made 2 packages (C:Package.dtsx, C:Package1.dtsx). I am executing Package1 inside Package.dtsx using Executing Package Task.
In package1.dtsx there is some configuration that is coming at runtime(For each loop container having some file connections) , so I have put DelayValidation property of this package to True, but that did not work when I called this package from Package1.dtsx, then I found one workaround, I changed the ExecuteOutOfProcess of ExecutePacakge task to True,
Now the problem is that before installing Office 2007 the both were executing fine (it was taking some time in starting the second package because of OutOfProcess execution).
After installing Office 2007 I get the following error while executing the second package from first package.
Error: Error 0x800703E6 while loading package file "C:Package1.dtsx". Invalid access to memory location. .
This problem comes whenever the I execute the package having OutOfProcess property to true.
Is there any workaround for this, or I am wrong somewhere.
I want to achieve the following in (SSIS/SSDT for SQL 2012) -
I have a generic SSIS package which simply sends out email notifications using SMTP email task (this package is within its own project, and has project level input parameters).
I need to be able to call this package in the Event handler section of every package (numbering in about less than 60) that we have. These packages are within their own respective projects.
I thought I could use the "execute package task", but it turns out , using this, I cannot call a package that is part of some other project. I also cannot call a package that is stored in the CATALOG. Is there any way I can do this ?
When I call the child package , I should be able to send in parameters like - error information and package name of the Parent package.
I have a parent package that calls a child package. When this is executed on SQL server (the actual server host SSIS services) it executes fine I can see data in the correct tables and I can determine that is ran. But I try to run this from my local pc within the designer (Visual Studios) and the parent package runs a few task that are before the child package task but once it gets to the child package it stops. I have set breakpoint on several task with the parent package and I can step thru them but once it gets to the child it tries to run it then the execute package task object turns red. I can not find any error messages or codes. I even have beak points set up on the child package itself and the process never hits those break points but I'm assuming is cause is puking before I get to the child package.
The child package is stored in SQL server and is in MSDB. I just want to debug the child packages from BIDS or visual studios?
any one know how to debug child packages from BIDS or Visual Studios? I can if I run the child package by itself but I need to test from end to end ....so within the parent packages which calls a few child packages..
Hi All, I've been assigned a task by one of the programmer in my team to create packages from some of the databases(One from SQL2005&Other one from SQLEXPRESS) I've created and saved the packages using the export wizard.I saved the Packages as Integration Services Packages(On file System). Now he wants me to execute the packages using SSIS But in different time,like maybe after 5min.Other package runs. I really have no clue how to do that,I've added Both packages in SSIS,But i really dont know how to run them in different time. If anyone could help please do so!
Based on the above article it seems its possible to run a DTS package on a SQL 2006 X64 machine.
Furthermore it seems possible that this package will run without any upgrade being performed to SSIS.
Also, to execute the DTS package in 32 bit mode, all I have to do is to set the job step type of SQL Agent to Operating system, and enter a command line or use a batch file that invokes the 32-bit version of dtexec.exe. You can use the dtexecui.exe utility to create the command line, and then copy and paste the command line into the job step.
Are the above deductions correct? Please let me know if some correction / refinement is needed.
I have created a SSIS package in VS2005 to export data fom SQL Server2005 into Excel. The package works every single time I run it from the VS designer. When I run the package from a WinForms app using C# the result of the package is always 'Failure'.
I have seen the code on a number of different sites on how to do this and am very confident the code is correct. However, I cannot figure out why the package fails from my app as I am not getting back and error messages. Can anyone please shed some light on this for me?
HI ALL. I HAVE A PACKAGES WHICH THEN EXECUTES CHILD PACKAGES. tHE CONNECTION managers are specified. and environmental variables are saved on xml file. when i run(debug) parent packages on BIS , it gives me error saying the "error loading package file "childpackage_name.dtsx1st ".the system canot find the file specified.
how ever if i build solution it gives me output saying build successful.. i do not ge this.. anyhelp guys.
I am trying to execute around 3 SSIS packages using Execute package task by having all the 3 in one SSIS package, I am getting the below error: Error: Error 0xC001000A while preparing to load the package. The specified package could not be loaded from the SQL Server database. .
I have been trying to get a clear explanation on what I need to do in order to be able to execute SSIS packages which I have located on an app server. Is it that I need integration services installed on the app server itself and thats it? Or can someone tell me if there is any more to it, thanks folks!
With DTS you could copy and register some DLLs onto a non-SQL Server PC and run Packages. Is this still possible with SSIS? I imagine that, at the very least, you would have to copy dtexec.exe and the *,dtsx files to the other computer.
hi ... i several ssis packages which has to be started as and when required. i want to give users that have no access to the sql server the possibility to start some of these packages (ideally out an an erp system or as web interface) the first idea that came in my mind was to create a webservice on sql server which calls the dtexec with the given parameters, but i have no idea if this is the best solution or if this is possible at all.
I have a package that first needs to copy some files from a workstation computer up to a server. If I set the package execution up as a job, the packages executes under a domain account (<domain><sql agent>). This domain account does not have access rights to the directory on the workstation, therefore the package can not see or copy the files in the directory. I have tried to execute the package from the command line using 'RUNAS' with 'dtexec.exe' (runas /user:<domain><user> detexec.exe ...) using my own user name and apparently, because you have to wait for the password prompt, this doesn't work either.
So, is there a way for me to set up a package to run under a specific set of credentials so that I am able to copy the files from the workstation up to the server? I realize that just setting up the current <sql agent> user with the proper credentials would be the easiest, but our network admin group won't hear of it. They want one user id that SQL Server, SSIS, SSAS and SSRS run under (the <sql agent> account) and another user id that has the file system access that I described above.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

First, I have read and applied the following threads and a dozen others from google before asking for help.

Project => New SSIS package => Execute package task and in this many more Execute package task with connectors. When we execute the master package how it will decide which is the first package.
I've not really used SSIS for a while, and I'm now building some in 2012 and trying to utilise some of the features in the 2012 SSIS catalogue; however I've hit a bit of a stumbling block.
What I'm trying to do is have a master/child package relationship, with several child packages and where the child packages themselves are dynamically called (i.e. the master package may call a different child package based upon some value or state of data already processed.)
When I try and create an expression for the PackageNameFromProject property... well, that property doesn't appear to set dynamically. I know how to do this for old style packages by creating expressions for the package name etc; but that way I can't use the package parameters I have from my master package.
I am working on an application used to move packages (SSIS Packages) from one server to another.The packages are saved under MSDB folder.
Case: When the application is running on my system, i try to copy packages created from another server to my Server.I am using package protection level as "Server Storage". When i try to execute the coppied package from my system, it is giving me error. An oledb error has occured, Error Code 0x80040E4D, An Oledb record is available, Source : Microsoft OLedb Provider for Sql Server", Description : "Login failed for sa".
Case : When the Package Coppier application is running on my system, i try to copy packages created on my server to my another Server.I use the same package protection level as "Server Storage". When i try to execute the copied package on destination server it is working fine without errors.
Please guide me on this issue, as soon as possible
I have few DTSX packages on my SQL server 2005. These packages are supposed to transfer data and stored procedures from server to client Express engine. The scenario is that when user connects with the server he should run some kind of utility or any other way to run those SSIS packages so that the data could be transfered.
Remember the user machine has only SQL Express Engine and the packages are in SQL server 2005 machine.
Can any one help me out how to achive this scenario?

Please help me to solve this problem, as my client needs it very badly
I created a package but someone else will be running it every day. When this person opens the project in Business Intelligence Studio they get build errors such as the following:
Error loading PackageName: Failed to decrypt protected XML node "PackagePassword" with error 0x8009000B "Key not valid for use in specified state." You may not be authorized to access this information. This error occurs when there is a cryptographic error. Verify that the correct key is available.
this problem is described in the article below however the only advice they offer is to "change the value of the ProtectionLevel property " however they don't specify what to change the value to. I have tried every option but it still does not work. And having them enter in a password every time is out of the question. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;904800
It seems there is no way for someone other than the package owner to run the package! Running them from the sql server is not an option since we don't have permission to do so. As far as I know BIS is the only way.
I am building a bunch of packages on our new server and all was going well until I edited the project using the client tools on my PC. I now receive the below error if I try to execute any of the packages on the server (all is still fine on the client). I have scoured the net but I don't seem to be able to come up with a solution. I have tried altering the folder & object permissions for my login (that created the project on the server and edited using the client) but I still get the error.

Please can anybody help me in transferring existing SSIS Packages saved in a shared folder location from development server 2ED to Live server TWD1. Both has SQL server 2005 running and has visual studio 2005 Currently about 25 SSIS packages are executed from the development server transferring data on Live server TWD1...these ETL process is called from development server but executed on live server. Now the problem is when i call these packages from the shared folder from live server it crashes.....i need to changes something to shift the whole package to the live server..and execute on live server itself instead of recreating the whole 25 process from scratch.....also i use optimize for many tables ..and run in a single trancastion....so how can i see the mappings of source and destination tables.
Please let me know the process how i can achieve this. Thanks George
I have problem executing several SSIS-packages in a chain.
To be more precise: I have implemented a Biztalk 2006 application which via a local webservice executes an SSIS package. The package it self calls another SSIS package, which is located in the same folder as the calling package. The second package then calls a third package etc.
The problem arises, when the first package calls the second package. An Access Denied exception is received. Can any one explain me how to fix this?
The user connected to the application-pool that the weservice is running under, has execution-rights on all of the packages.
I searched for an answer for this, and found a few good threads, but none of them seem to be doing quite the same thing I'm trying to do.
I have two packages, parent and child. Parent does basic file manipulation -- encrypting/decrypting, moving from server to server, backing up to archive, pulling/pushing to external server via FTP, etc. It is completely dumb to what child does. Child is the guts of the data work -- the ETL package.
The goal is to have this one parent package be used by several ETL child packages. But not only can parent use different children (depending on which config is used when executing parent), but child can also handle different tasks, depending on a configuration it uses.
Let me break it down further.
Three packages:
ParentPackage - Used by all jobs ChildPackage1 - Used for processing orders ChildPackage2 - Used for processing inventory
Four configurations (thus four jobs):
Job1Configuration - Used for processing orders for ClientA Job2Configuration - Used for processing orders for ClientB Job3Configuration - Used for processing inventory for ClientA Job4Configuration - Used for processing inventory for ClientB
Job1Configuration is set up to tell ParentPackage to use ChildPackage1, and to provide ChildPackage1 w/ various data for ClientA -- and so forth.
To my understanding, there is no passthrough of the config data from parent to child. A child package doesn't "inherit" or otherwise receive the information from the parent package, unless explicit variables are set up. This won't work for us, because ParentPackage is dumb of any data that the child packages may need. In other words, we don't want to set up ParentPacakge with every possible variable that every child package may need.
Also, I'm not aware of a way of setting up a job to provide a child package directly w/ a package configuration.
Is there any way to do what I'm trying to accomplish?
If I didn't explain something clearly, let me know and I will try to clarify.
I was hoping someone might be able to clarify how configuartions work with child packages. My process has 3 levels of packages. The main packages called two child packages each of which calls more child packages.
I'm using Configurations to pass variables from parent packages to child packages. But each level of packages contains Data Flow Source/Destination connections. I was planning on having only 1 XML Configuration file in the main package that would allow the data connections for the main package to be configured for the target enviornment. When the job is scheduled I will be able to point a configuration file for use with the main packages. But will that configuration file be applied to all child packages that will run? All of the Connections Managers have the same name so I'd like to make the change in one file.
If not, am I forced to define a parent/child variable to pass the Connection String from the parent to each of the child packages? Use an expression to set the Connection String dynamically? This seems like a lot of extra work, so I'd really like to see if there is a way to do it with an XML configuration file. Even if I have to definte the same config file for each of my 20+ packages.
I have a fairly simple SSIS project that has nested parent-child packages. I am trying to find the best way to manage the connections strings so as to make the package portable across machines and environments. Currently there is one "master" package which calls 6 child packages. 1 of these child package calls 3 child packages of its own.
For the database connections, I've settled on creating a standardized .dtsConfig file for each server/login. This is a relatively small number (intially 8) that I don't expect to grow much.
I've taken a different approach for the file-system connections used by Execute Package components that call the child packages. For each package that has child packages, I store all the connection strings (paths) to the child packages in a single .dtsConfig file. This works well for the top-level "master" package where I can pass in the .dtsConfig file (that has the paths to the child packages) as a run-time option in the Execute Package Utility.
However, this approach seems to fall apart for the 2nd generation package that in turn call 3rd generation packages because I don't know how to get the .dtsConfig file (with the 3rd generation .dtsx package paths) path to this downstream dtsx package.
Though I'm sure there are others, the only two solutionsI can think of now are (a)don't nest packages beyond 1 parent/child relationship -- not really an option or (b)Store the path of .dtsConfig files for each .dtsx package as an environment variable on each machine. This option is unappealing because it would require adding an environment variable for every .dtsx package that has child packages. I don't think it would take long for this to grow into a large number, that would make managing environment variables cumbersome.
So far my experience with SSIS has been that there was a simple solution for each scenario I had. So this hoop jumping I'm going through seems to indicate I am just missing something.
hello again!, this time I'm trying to run a Master Package from the SQL Server Agent but I can't set relative paths to the connections for all the child packages that the master package contains. It only finishes execution when I set absolute paths for all connections in the connection manager within the SSIS Project.
Is there any property in the SQL Server Agent or mayby a workaround to solve this?
It would appear that if a Child package is called more than once from a Parent using the 'Execute Package' task, then after the first execute the Parent Package Variables are not applied to child package. I.E we build dimensions in a master database and these are then loaded to a number of topic specific datamarts. We simply pass Parent variables to the child that hold source & target connection strings, the first time the package is called the correct database is accessed, subsequent Executes ignore the variables and use the original values. Manipulating the (our) event queue to run the package once results in the correct behaviour
Are packages cached when they are called from a Parent? if so is there a flag that I have missed to force a reload each time a child is executed?
This has just become a big problen for us so any guidance would greatly appreciated.
HI, I have some parent parent packages that calls child packages. When I added a bunch of packages, I faced the buffer out of memory error. I then decided to set the child packages property ExecuteOutOfProcess to TRUE. I noticed that the execution time is longer now. Is this a good practice to set the ExecuteOutOfProcess to true? If so, is it normal that the execution time is longer?
I have around 10 packages for dim and fact Table load. Using deployment Utility i create setup and put the packages in to test environment. Now my requirement is call all the packages in certain order from single package. Using Execute Package Task i could call only one package. how to achive this in deployment?
I have a Business Intelligence project containing 4 packages. One of the packages is a parent package that just runs the other 3 packages sequentially (passing in variables via Package Configurations).
When I set the properties of the Execute Package tasks in the parent package, it seems that I can only select SQL Server or File System locations for the child packages.
What I want to do is for the parent to run the packages in the Visual Studio Project so that I can debug the whole process. I don't want to be bothered deploying the child packages so that I can run them from the parent, at least not while I am debugging the whole process.
How do I get the children to run within Visual Studio as well as the parent? I can't for the life of me find anything on the MSDN about this.
In all packages they make connections to a SQL 2005 db which sits on the same instance as which the packages are being deployed. In the Child packages these connections have the connection string set as a package property variable in Package configs and in the Parent package this variable exists correctly. This variable in the Parent is itself defined in a PackageConfig which uses SQL Server as the holder for the configuration.
When I deploy the packages the connections to in the child packages fail, one connection by timing out, another with an acquire connection failure.
I have set the DelayValidation to false on all connections but it made no difference. I have also increased the timeout to 180s but again still a failure. When I deploy the parent package on its own it is successful, however when the child packages are deployed on their own these connections again fail to validate due to a timeout and connection failure, yet they are using the same connections defined in the parent.
The child packages are no larger than other single packags that I have deployed successfully with the same connection to the same server.
Is there anything special that I should be aware of regarding deployment of parent and child packages.
